What is the distance required for scattering at sea from the shore?

  1. 300 yards

  2. 400 yards

  3. 500 yards

  4. 600 yards

The correct answer is: 500 yards

The correct distance required for scattering cremated remains at sea from the shore is 500 yards. This regulation is in place to ensure that the scattering respects the marine environment and does not interfere with coastal activities. The distance allows for both the dignified handling of cremated remains and adherence to environmental preservation standards. The choice of 500 yards provides a buffer that ensures the remains do not wash back to shore and allows for a more respectful disposition. While each of the other distances listed might seem reasonable, they do not meet the established regulation, which is specifically set to 500 yards to guarantee both compliance and the preservation of the shoreline and surrounding waters.
